dlsnyder65 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I am still new to this business and I am not sure what type of machines these are. I could purchase for $50 each. Does anyone know what they go for new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherdsflock Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Without some entertainment features (like flashing lights, spiral ramp, etc.) they're just really huge single head gumball machines. Because of the high capacity of these machines, you'll need to find some high traffic locations to empty the gumballs out of those giant heads before they go stale. $50 might not be a bad price, but you'll need to consider whether you can land the kind of locations you'll need for those machines. Not every location is a good fit for equipment like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Those are Beaver mechs and I'm sure have Beaver wheels. I would buy them and if they don't work out on the route you can always get your money back on Ebay by parting the mech,flapper,chute door, and wheels out. Possibly the other parts as well. Also Beaver uses the same wheel to vend capsules and gumballs so you should be able to vend capsules from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlsnyder65 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thank you for your replies. I think that best thing to do at this time is to past on them. I think these machines are more trouble than they are worth and without having a place to put them it just does not make sense to purchase.
